On October 22, a similar situation was witnessed in the national capital when Sisodia was called to join the investigation for the first time.

At that time, the police had to face a tough time dealing with the law and order situations created by the AAP leaders.

This time the police had made proper security arrangements in advance as they had got the information that the AAP workers and leaders will again create ruckus on the Delhi road, especially near the CBI headquarters.
